"The free range drifter i harvested a while ago"

That caught me off guard lol

[MerkinMuffly]

The free-range drifter does have a much better taste than the caged ones.

I've made the zombie meatloaf for Halloween the last 4 years. My son affectionatly refers to it as "Meatface". I've used onion for the eyes like Chef John does here, but I've also used cherry tomatoes, olives and dill pickle ends for the eyes. Always a hit with my family. I think I will try the face pie this year, but as a cherry pie so the juices will "bleed" out over the face.

Just when I stopped waking up to nightmares of FacePie, you went ahead and dropped this spooky sizzle reel 😩

October: exists
Chef John: “FACE PIE!!!”

[susanfarley]

The face pie made me think it would be fun to make a man in the moon pie using the same technique. You even could do a crescent moon with the profile.
On the face pie you could even do some stitches on the fore head or cheek. So much fun thinking of stuff you could do with this pie!

The "free-range drifter" already had me cracking up, but the "wash your sister sauce"...I lost it! That was too funny! Very creative recipes, Chef John!

[OrlaQuirk]

Wow! That face pie is a masterpiece. I thought I was cool when I froze lemonade in rubber gloves, and had pale "hands" floating in my punch bowl one Halloween. (Very well-washed gloves, I might add.)
Thank you for these wonderful ideas, and Happy Hallowe'en.

Some real nightmare fuel. Tasty tasty nightmare fuel

Why don't skeletons go trick or treating?

Because they have no body to go with.

[smitty]

For the eye on the face, I was thinking of an olive possibly?

[joew]

It's that time of year again. October! When half the country is preparing for Halloween, and the other half is demanding to know why we don't say "Merry Christmas" anymore, in October.
